According to PANews on June 14, Quantstamp's independent investigation confirmed that attackers behind Humanity Protocol's security breach used North Korean-linked hacking tools and phishing emails impersonating Bithumb exchange to compromise a foundation member's device and steal private keys. The attackers subsequently transferred approximately 141.18 million H tokens on Ethereum and minted additional tokens on BSC, with stolen assets liquidated on Uniswap and PancakeSwap over 8 hours.

Ethereum's H token contract has been frozen, while the bridge remained unaffected. However, the BSC deployment remains under attacker control with minting permissions intact. The team is coordinating with exchanges and security partners on recovery measures.
